Google Launches 'Person Finder' for Philippines

The storm that slammed into the Philippines last Friday has left thousands dead and missing. As families and authorities scramble to track down the survivors, including children, Google launched several tools to help people find their loved ones.

The “Google Person Finder” allows people to post messages about their missing loved ones via a web application. It’s also a place for survivors to post messages letting others know they are OK. Or, if you have information about an individual, such as their location or status, you can also post that information.

Person Finder can also be accessed by mobile phone by using an SMS short code.
